This comprehensive book delves into the intricate challenges of combating the laundering of the proceeds of crime by politically exposed persons (PEPs) in Africa. Drawing upon numerous recent examples from across the continent and beyond, Professor John Hatchard argues that a multifaceted approach is essential to address the complex issues surrounding money laundering by PEPs. He advocates for a three-pronged strategy that involves action at the national, transnational, and corporate levels. Taking a forward-thinking perspective, Professor Hatchard examines the strategies that can make this approach more effective and proposes ways to enhance them further. He also provides an in-depth analysis of the various money laundering techniques employed in African countries, highlighting the potential role of constitutions, financial intelligence units, asset recovery mechanisms, and the African Court of Justice and Human Rights in combating the problem.

In conclusion, while there are undoubtedly challenges to be overcome, this book offers a ray of hope for addressing money laundering by African PEPs. It is a valuable resource for academics, students of law, legal practitioners, policymakers, public officials, and civil society organizations alike. Its wealth of practical case studies and insightful analysis provides valuable insights into the complex terrain of combating financial crime in Africa.
